Yes.

Not with that single statement. However, you can use this feature with
different prefixes by making multiple calls to the patterns function. Like
this:
{{{
urlpatterns = patterns('mysite.polls.views',
(r'^polls/$', 'index'),
(r'^polls/(?P<poll_id>\d+)/$', 'detail'),
(r'^polls/(?P<poll_id>\d+)/results/$', 'results'),
(r'^polls/(?P<poll_id>\d+)/vote/$', 'vote'),
)
urlpatterns += patterns('mysite.widgets.views',
(r'^widgets/$', 'index'),
# etc.
)
}}}
Note that the first call says "urlpatterns = patterns", while the second
says "urlpatterns += patterns". This works because patterns is a function
that returns a simple Python list.
If you do this, be careful that the first mention of urlpatterns is an
assignment (=) and all subsequent mentions are appends (+=). Otherwise
you'll loose all the url patterns that preceded the final assignment... an
error that can drive you nuts if you don't know to watch out for it.
